Arigatou...みんな大好き

Hey everyone-

I had a very mellow week because I was still feeling really sick ):

On thursday at calligraphy club, we wrote ema (its like a wood thinger that you write a wish on) and I wrote that I hope I can get into UBC (:

anyways i think those will be on display at the calligraphy corner, at the school festival happening this weekend !

I'm pretty excited, and then we have one more club meeting on thursday and then thats it! school festival time!

I'm sad because a lot of my friends don't seem intersted in the school festival but I've never been to one so im SO excited, but no ones comming! hahaha xD 

well it's actually cause a lot of my friends go to the other campus, which is in Osaka, not kyoto, so they don't wanna come all the way to kyoto I guess x)maybe...

Anyways

yesterday (saturday) we went to Takarazuka, which is an all-girls theatre company.

they have like a school that starts for girls after they finish junior high and they only accept 40 girls a year.

They have HUGE fan clubs, for the stars of the company, who are called the "top stars" 

and it's crazy

I really don't understand why...like, at al

to me, it was just a nice play.

the girls who played boys did a good job, but I still had a hard time figureing outs ometimes who was a boy and who was a girl, but they still did a great job, and the costumes were amazing, but it wasn't like, broadway.

but the fans are CRAZY in love with these actors, it's just... I don't understand haha

the fans even like clean their apartments and everything, it's nuts.

Also the company is SUPER secretive, we watced a documentary but its from 1994 and none have been made since bcause takarazuka didn't like it. 

I feel like its a world I would like to stay away from, it sounds dramatic (lololol pun)

Next week we are going to talk to an ex-member of Takarazuki

I think it wil be interesting, I have to think of 3 qiestions so im going to ask her

"what was it like having your fans do all of your chores"

"was it hard being around only girls for so long, did you ever have really big fights with your co-workers"

"What age did you start"

Are thoes offensive at all? I don't think so! hahaha

Anyways after we left takarazuka (it's acutally a city too, where the theatre is xD)

Me and Marie, Saya, Marie (yes there are two hehe) and me went to Karaoke- Elitsa was gunna come too but she felt too sick/tired ):

We went there for 2 hours, and i rocked some Biebs! And some taylor swift ;D it was so fun haha

after that we went to dinner and we ended up staying there for almost 3 hours! didn't get back on the train home untill 10:30, which ment i didn't walk in my door untill 11 haha

it was so much fun though

I feel liek I'm making some real friends here, which is nice, i mean I've met so many girls sometimes I don't even remember who is who, but The ones I'm getting close with are just great, I love all of you! |(you know who you are!!)

Also I was finally able to talk about some stuff with them last night that I haven't talked about to anyne else in Japan, which felt so amazing hahah, it's weird cause I usually don't talk about things like that.

haha anyways

yes!

then today (sunday)

I woke up at 11, ate lunch, fell back asleep at 1 until 3, did homework, ate dinner, did homework. and now im writing this and then going to bed hahaha
